Edge Autonomy has been awarded a follow-on contract with the U.S. Navy Marine Corps Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program for delivery of the VXE30 Stalker Small Uncrewed Aircraft System to support the Long Range/Long Endurance program of record, bringing the program’s total Stalker fleet to over 200 aircraft.
Mission requirements change – and not just by the month or year, but by the day or hour. The more flexible the uncrewed aircraft executing the mission, the greater the ability to pivot and adapt to meet these changing requirements. An effective UAS solution offers options that address long range and long endurance operations while remaining silent, light, and mobile, which is essential to overall preparedness and mission success.
Uncrewed aerial vehicles play a critical role in ISR missions, increasing the situational awareness that leads to timely and effective decision-making when the stakes are high. Developed to carry a wide variety of payloads, UAVs facilitate the gathering and transmission of accurate data to key human actors in real or near-real time for a distinct in-field advantage. Optical gimbal cameras are often the payload of choice for ISR missions. With a multitude of sensors (color and IR), laser pointers and range finders, geolocation capabilities, image stabilization, optical and digital zoom, and real-time data transmission, these cameras are ideal for a real-time data exchange that provides critical information to decision-makers in the field.

Edge Autonomy, a leading provider of uncrewed autonomous systems, announced today a major performance enhancement to the field-proven VXE30 Stalker UAS. Through a series of subsystem upgrades – known collectively as the “Havoc” configuration – Edge Autonomy has doubled the flight endurance and payload capacity of the base VXE30 Stalker system, closing the gap between the capabilities of small UAS and large UAS.
